Simulation of evacuation based on Multi-Agent and cellular automaton

On the basis of analysis of traditional discrete cellular automata and Agent-based models, a simulation model has been improved and optimized. The model combines method of the traditional discrete cellular model's investigation on the surrounding environment with the idea of describing individual behavior by the Agent model. Fully considering the escaping individuals' difference and taking into account the respective sense, the adjacent persons' behavior, the person density and the environment simulates, reflect the process of evacuation accurately. By the crowd evacuation model simulation of a supermarket, the outcome of the simulation is explicitly analyzed and studied, which proved the rationality and applicability of the model.
